Tikkurila (Swedish: Dickursby) is a district of the municipality of Vantaa, Finland. Located in the eastern half of the Helsinki conurbation, some 16 kilometres (10 mi) north of the capital's downtown district, it is the administrative and commercial hub of Vantaa, although Myyrmäki is a rival shopping centre within the municipality and Helsinki itself exerts a massive commercial pull on the area as a whole.
